322849 - add source localization support to minimo

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Minimo Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

In order to leverage the existing scheme for source localization, we need to move
minimo/chrome/locale/en-US to
minimo/locales/en-US.

In addition, we want a
LOCALES_minimo  :=                              \
  $(LOCALES_toolkit)                            \
  minimo                                        \
  $(NULL)

passage in client.mk and an (empty) mozilla/locales/all-locales.

Then we should be able to create localized minimo builds with just
ac_add_options --enable-ui-locale=ab-CD

I need to check what we do for packaging of minimo, to find out what needs
to be done for repackaging. Benjamin may have tips here.

shy do we have to move the locales directory in CVS?

Now that this is fixed, I'd think that a post to mozilla.dev.l10n might be good
to actually kick off localizations. You should probably include a bit of planning so that folks get a feeling of how stable things are, and which branch to put stuff on. Etc.

I may verify that -enable-ui-locale works with Minimo as well. ;-)

This is my build with --enable-ui-locale=pl:

Great job, guys!
